Hey, I put bbk lt's on my 98 cobra last year, and from what I've found in reasearch and asking around is that you'll end up having to pull at least one of the headers b/c the bellhousing for the tranny is so wide. I don't know if you installed your headers but I know from doing mine last year pulling the k-member and getting to those header bolts from underneath made it alot easier due to the fact the heads are so wide on that engine and getting to the bolts from above the engine is near impossible. IMO pulling the passanger header would be the easiest once you yank the starter out. But I am curiouse to hear how you end up having to handle the job b/c I know one day my clutch or tranny is gonna go and I'll be under there struggling w/ those lt headers.
